What Is The Utne Reader?

I see Brian reading it all of the time on "The Family Guy".

1. A magazine that started in Minneapolis in the 80s.

Began as a "Readers Digest" of the alternative press.

2. It's a collection of articles from other magazines

I don't know if they have any staff writers.

3. I used to get it back in the 80's

If I remember correctly, it had stories on humanitarian issues, environment, things like that. It has been a long time since I have read one.

I don't quite get the joke.
